Be safe

I'm not sure if you're aware dear readers but it's National Condom Week, seriously - I read it in the newspaper earlier this week. Of course being gay and sexually active condoms are a necessity; and I have never had full sex with anyone who refuses to wear one. Even know with a steady boyfriend they're still essential  - there's lots of nasty things you can catch from having unprotected anal sex and we don't want or desire any nasty surprises nor to be put out of action for any length of time. At the end of the day it's just a showing of respect to each other; regardless as to how long you've known the guy and the status of the relationship.

During my single times of sexual promiscuity I never once encountered a problem with a guy refusing to wear a condom for anal sex. I don't think I've been lucky either because I've been speaking about this with my boyfriend and he's never encountered a problem either. Between us we've had a few (note polite and obscure use of terminology) sexual partners/buddies and it's taken for granted these days, it's a must have. 

So seeming as though it is National Condom Week it would be rude if we didn't celebrate it, so we just have! I love those moments of togetherness after sex, just lay there holding each other after being together as one, both satisfied and coming down from the high  - it's the most beautiful feeling ever. This evening is slightly different though as our post-sex ritual has involved completing a sex survey for National Condom Week on http://www.durexsurvey.co.uk/ I urge you all to do it, it's great fun; particularly if you complete it with your partner present. You also stand the chance of winning £50 of Durex goodies for your time and honesty in completing the survey - lets hope we're lucky!

I warn you now though there are some very revealing questions that require answering truthfully and honestly, so if you do complete it with your partner be sure you're comfortable, trusting and your relationship can withstand it - it may bring to light some skeletons that he/she does not know about you. To be honest I think it's aimed more at straight rather than gay people, as there's some daft questions such as "have you ever tried anal sex" and "whilst having sex do you think about people of the same sex" - we're both gay males, do I need to say anymore...............? 

Did we learn anything about each other by completing it? No, not really it just kind of reiterated pretty much what we already knew - we are very open with our sexual needs, desires, fetishes and histories. That said, the question about how many sexual partners have you had raised a few eyebrows but in my defence my memory is quite poor so I took a conservative guess either that or I lost count; my boyfriend on the other hand had to rely on the use of a scientific calculator with an extra-wide display to add his up - and people call me a slut! But he has learned some very good tricks from his escapades and as is often said, practice makes perfect, it's true boys and girls I can vouch for that statement. Anyway we're off to try and conquer the condom mountain we have currently amassed, admittedly it's dirty and tiring work but someone's got to do it and it's such fun too; they should see us through a week or two. 

In the meantime have a great night dear readers wherever you are and whoever you may find yourself with. Remember to have fun, do not listen to those who judge you because of it and always be safe. Life is short - go share it and enjoy every minute xxxxxxxxxxx.
